C7 RS6 500 miles into ownership.
Discussion
Well after much dithering, I took the plunge and bought a used RS6. I love the c7 shape avants, and have had two of them, both 3.0 diesels, a 245bhp quattro and a biturbo.
So onto the RS6, what can I say?? I think I'm still in shock at the fact that I actually own one of these incredible cars and each time I go out in it I giggle a little. It has to be one of the most complete cars I've ever owned. Coming form the biturbo, which was an effortless wagonwith a great turn of speed, which did the whole , family, dogs, tow car and dog transport brilliantly, I was a little aprehensive that the RS would loose some of the smooth 'wafting' ability of my previous cars. But no, put it in comfort and it is a pussycat, quiet, smooth, comfortable effortless. BUT hit the dynamic buttom and WOW, what a monster. The acceleration at ANY speed is truly addictive. I have built and run for 6 years a 250bhp caterham So I am used to a bit of acceleration! But this thing is just.............
I have concluded that whatever speed you are doing, you have about 3 seconds of full power before you are going too fast
Ok, so it's not the nimblest car, 2 tons is a lot, but you can hustle it around. It does like a drink!! but then it's not that much worse that a friends scooby STI.
But overall it is a great car.
